OK, How much of this is right?
jQuery.Map = {
// this is a public global attribute?
// ie: global across all instances of jQuery.Map
whatever : null,
// a public function
init : function(options)
{
// this is the jQuery search collection
// self is a private pointer to the collection
var self = this;
// another private variable scoped to the function
var _maph = 0;
// an public attribute, accessed via $("#map").Map._maph
this._maph = 0;
// a method, accessed via $("#map").Map.recenter(x,y,dxy)
this.recenter = function(x, y, dxy)
{
console.log("calling recenter()");
};
return this.each(
function(options) {
// this is each respective object in the collection
// this is a DOM object not a jQuery object
// here I can modify the DOM, bind events, etc
};
};
// This extends jQuery with my plugin
jQuery.fn.extend(
{
Map : jQuery.Map.init
}
);
// I access my plugin via:
$("#myMap").Map({ <options hash> });
// later I can access a public function on this object like:
$("#myMap").Map.recenter(x, y, dxy);
Is this right? I probably have some terminology mixed up.
